To the uninitiated it seems strange what

sale at the auction rooms every Saturday.
selling some weeks several thousand dollars
worth of property. People in moving find
lot of odds and ends that are of no use to
them, they send them to the auction house.
some one buys them, carts them home to use
until they tire of them, then the stuff is agair,
sold, changing hands until it is worn out and
worthless, finally being burned up. There
are hundreds OF furnished room houses which
are supplied from auction sales. Young
housekeepers who want to economics also very
often fit up from auction, picking up very
nice goods at low prices. People leaving the
city to reside elsewhere send their entire
household effects TO the auction rooms, realiz-
ing generally about fifty cents on the dollar
of original cost. Sometimes they sell their
property to second hand dealers, who clean
mp the furniture, bring it to auction, and
realize an immense profit.
A rather laughable incident occurred sew
eral weeks ago. A gentleman in the west

dealer transformed the set by cutting down
the high top bed and dressing case to more
modern proportions, cleaned it up, vanished
it nicely and brought it 10 the auction rooms.
Mr. West End happens in during the sale,
takes notion to the really handsome set,
buys it, carts it home and is none the wiser
until his sharp eyed wife dispels the bargain
illusion by informing him that he had bought
back his own furniture at 200 per cent profit
to the smart dealer. Mr.. West End, sadder
but wiser, sends the set back to be resold,

the basement are revolving fans which
drive the fresh air into every room, and
the whole building is lighted by the cleo

we'll known and reputable house of &ed-
ford, Clark &, Co. has just brought out
In the book, however, the names of the
real people who figure in the story are
changed just enough to oconceal the iden-
tity of those mentioned. In conversation
Mrs. Kent does not hesitate to tell the
real persons concealed under these ficti-
tious characters. In the book England is
called Finland; the Count de LGndi is
called Count de Lentz; Lady Anna Camp
bell is down as Lady Anna Crawley, and
so on.
Whether Mrs. Kent's story be true or
false, she undoubtedly believes it to the
letter. Her resemblance to Queen Vic
toria is very marked The persons most
prejudiced against her, most skeptical of
her story must admit that she looks enough
like Queen Victoria to be her daughter.
AS an offset to this, however, one must
remember that the queen has by no means
IN unusual face. 1t is decidedly German,
and does not differ materially from hum
dreds of other German women's faces.

In substance this lady's story is that

queens first daughter. Soon after the
transfer the countess died. Before the
countess gave birth to her child, however,

The time when we should prepare for
the winter is at hand and naturally
everyone looks around to see how he can
expend his money to the best advantage,
and if he takes the trouble to enquire, he
soon finds that WolfsOn's is the place,
because, in the first place, there is a
large stock of all kinds Of winter goods
to select from, and in the second place,
quality considered, it is the cheapest.
For instance, he has a large assortment
OF blankets, white. cOlOred or California,
which are offered for sale at from Sl.l5
10 $50 per pair, and are in every case
good value for money. There, too, you
can get bedding Of all kinda that you
will find cheap and comfortable during
the winter months. However, satisfy
yourself by calling at the store, and ex-
anime the goods. Then you will find as
others have done, that you get good bar
gains at WolfsOn's.
